&c. The stock n arket was less active today
The heavy sales in London caused a decline
there which was taken advantage OF By the
bears and traders who are ranged on that side
at present to hammer the market here, and
though there was a good demand Tor all the
active specialties. and the general temper of the
room was comparatively bullish, the pressure
in the afternoon became too great for the I'm
tied demand. There was good borrowing de-
mand Tor stocks OF all kinds, and the short in
tegest is again believed to be very large. The
banner weak stocks were Union Pacific and
Jersey Central, though all the London favor
ties were prominent IN the decline.
St. Paul was also pressed for sale, and
il was the leading active stock throughout
the day, closely followed by Union Pacific,
Reading and Lackawsnna, though the latter
wa very well held considering its late marked
weakntss The only exceptions to the rule
were the silver stocks, Wheeling and Lake Erie
and San Francisco preferred, AL Of which sue
eeeded in closing with small advance. The
marker opened heavy to weak on moderate
business with prices generally off from rs to Is
per cent from the final figures of last evening,
but the good demand caused a fractional reac-
ton in the general list, while Wheeling and
Lake Erie rose IL per cent. This demand soon
Stacked OF, however, and the steady pressure
sagged the list offsgain, though the transactions
were. after the first hour on a very limited
scale. Vigorous dashes were made at the list
just after noon, and again ct 2 p. m, which
brought the list down to the lowest figures at
about delivery hour Union Pacific and Jersey
Central were most conspicuous in the raids
though the latter was very quiet slight re-
cOvery was made in the last few minutes, but
the close was heavy at or near the lowest prices
reached. Kansas and Texas lost Is; Union
